People from all seetious of the state

rapidly increasing. The growth OF
her population is marvellous. There
are at least. 1000 recent arrivals living
in tents around the city waiting for

it can be easily reached. Friday night
was a very cold one, ana also bright
one. Somewhere about midnight David
son WIS awakened by the ringing of his
big bell. He jumped out of bed and ran
down to the kitcheD door and opened It
TO look out and sae what the matter was.
The bell, post anu rope were plainly visi-
BILE, but nothing else could be seen near
them. Jim, the dog, came into the kitch-
en- when the door was opened and lay
down by the stove.
Farmer Davidson was puzzled. he
was sure that the dog would have made
an cutlery if any enc had come on the
grounds. The ringing of the bell was a
mystery. Davidson made the dog 60
out doors, and then went back to bed.
He had just got nicely tucked in under
the covers, when the sound OF the bell,
ringing three times loudly and uEmis-
takably, was heard again. Davidson
sprang out of bed, and hurried downstairs
again. No one was to be seen. The dog
again came in the house and lay down by
the stove.
If others in the house hadn't heard the
bell the farmer would have thought he
must be mistaken. No one in the house
is superstitious, but this mysterious ring
ing of the bell by unseen hands made
them all feel uncomfortable. The family
sat up for an hour watching out of win
dows, but no one came to ring the bell.
The dog was turned outdoors again and
the family went back to bed. Quiet had
barely been restored in the house when
the sharp clang of the bell rang out once
more. There was general stampede of
the family downstairs again. This time
alarm and uneasiness were depicted on
every face. Farmer Davidson dressed
himself went out and made a thorough
search of the premises, and returned as
much mystified and more disturbed than
before. The dog jim came back in the
house with him.
1t was agreed that no human being
could be responsible for the ringing of
the bell, for if such were the case the dog
would have barked. Jim was driven from
the house again, and the family went back
upstairs, but not to bed. They sat by
windows and looked out upon the bell
post with unquestionable awe. AS they
looked they saw the dog Jim trot deliber-
ately from the house TO the bell post. He
raised up on his hind feet, sized the bell
rope in his teeth, and gave it three or
four vigorous jerks. The bell rang and
the mystery was solved. Jim had made
up his mind that he wanted to sleep il the
house that cold night. He was let in at
once, and the family went to sleep

o. dinner is to have thin cut slices of
rock fish, overlapping placed down the
center of the platter; on one side is ar
ranged a pink sauce, made with ancho-

with cucumber or spinach. This makes
a perfect harmony i'll color of the prosaic
fsh-dish. The dishes handed to each

green side as preferred.
